Surprise!

Forrest Gump's mom would tell him ,"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get…"

I just opened my box of chocolates. It happened one afternoon when a friend nominated me and with peers who joined hands with placed me to a position I could not fathom.

Well, they just made me their president lang naman… That placed me as the president of the society for those  under Masters in Business Adminsitration and Public Administration programs. I could not understand really. I am not charismatic, would participate in the class discussions for the sake of overcoming my shyness, enjoy a close circle of friends but befriend others as well.

But am not popular. Not everybody's type of friends. Very silent to lots of times. My mind was in pandemonium when I learned that I gonna be working on so many things.

You know, for years I have always been a follower. Never a leader in life. As far as I could remember, my only experience of being a leader is to lead small group discussions and another when I led a small group of 10 innocent Girls Scouts marching in the green field. That was it.

For the first time in history, I became a president. And the expectations are rising high. I could foresee the pressures and busyness in the next year…

The Jesuits call this 'magis'. Latin for 'more'. It refers to the philosophy of doing more, for Christ and therefore for others.

I am transformed. grabeh…

Thought for the day:
'Bahalag way kaugmaon basta maugmaan…Unsaon ang kaugmaon ug dili naka maugmaan?? Useless gihapon daba?
